<a name='DESCRIPTION'></a><h1>DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>Perl 6 needs some kind of internationalisation and therefore message
catalogue support. Really needs, with great urgency.</p>
<p>Whether we use GNU gettext or do our own thing, doesn't matter. Both the
Perl 6 binary and the standard library will be effected, meaning we'll
have to implement message catalogues both in C and in Perl. At least
internationalising the standard library will mean we can set an
example to CP6AN authors and so on.</p>
<a name='IMPLEMENTATION'></a><h1>IMPLEMENTATION</h1>
<p>Bring an XS (or equivalent) message catalogue library into the core so
that both the internals and the standard library can be localised.
Go about development with internationalisation in mind.</p>
